Dealing with pimples is very common and highly treatable. For mild acne, you can start with over-the-counter topical creams containing benzoyl peroxide to kill bacteria, or salicylic acid to unclog pores. If these aren't effective, a doctor may prescribe topical retinoids like adapalene, or a topical antibiotic like clindamycin. Wash your face gently twice daily with a mild cleanser, avoid squeezing the pimples to prevent scarring, and keep your skin hydrated with a non-comedogenic moisturizer. If your acne persists or is painful, please consult a dermatologist for a personalized treatment plan.
